Selecting a video to produce

If you see an idea below and want to produce it, please contact the person who proposed the idea for further information and to coordinate resources with them (if applicable). Some of the ideas have been proposed by the Video team, and you may contact any one on that team for further information or join us on IRC in the #fedora-meeting channel each Thursday at 15:30 UTC.

How to host a meeting on #fedora-meeting using zodbot

Status: Proposed

Idea summary: Show users the basic structure of a meeting such as role call, agenda items, and open floor. Demonstrate the zodbot commands such as #start-meeting, #chair, #topic, #link, #action, #end-meeting, etc. that enable zodbot to record the minutes in a structured format. Video could also explain and show common IRC meeting etiquette such as the !, ?, and +1.

Technical requirements: Chat client such as xchat.
